Before break Integrated Algebra classes at the high school did a competition to see who could build the tallest tower out of spaghetti, tape, and string that could hold a marshmallow. Students had to problem solve and think outside of the box to create their towers in groups. The winning group had a tower that was 26 inches tall!
